I want to make a noise

I want to make a noise

like Robbie Robertson

And dance with the American

People

I must say

I think the Dakota Indians

have a salve

For it

but do know that there is a better

Way to do it

And that is to beard the causal prospector

with

The news that he/they are responsible for the desecration

Of God’s land

And therefore they need

To be aware that it is a matter of time

Before they all are held accountable to God himself.

I will be then and now the witness

Who says that all their uses have been rented

and so it is

That they shall be

then and there

the useful and the useless

Of the factual mentor known as God

and his aim

Is to be then and there

the soonest and shortest way

To the devoted land of the Sun.
